I think this is a shame. Everyone says Linux will never make it on the desktop, and this conference could have potentially been the catalyst to start turning some of the naysayers into believers. Alas, it's not to be. I'm personally fine with Linux being on my desktop and not 50 million other people's desktops. But, I feel bad for the people who have been trying so hard to bring it to the desktop when an event like this, where they could have gotten more exposure for their products and whatnot.
